Excellent guide with really good information! We appreciated the details of the history and the place.
Very well organized and informative!!! We would take the tour again with this guide. She told us a a lot about the history of St. Chapelle.
Very knowledgeable guide. Loved hearing about the history. Highly recommend. It is also nice not to wait in a long line and go in with a small group.
* It was expensive but worthy since it had a small group and the guide was good. She gave us a lot of interesting information. Later I found out that most of the informations are in the small panel with each site but it’s more fun and much more learning with someone. She has a teacher’s spirit so you've got to be a good student.
Our guide was very knowledgeable. She took her time explaining things and using pix on her iPad. Highly recommended.
Our guide, Cynthia, was wonderful. She had deep knowledge of the history of La Sainte Chappelle. She made the tour very interesting. She was helpful and kind to all.
Our guide was experienced and knowledgeable. She packed a lot of information into a small excellent tour. The tour was worth every penny
Cynthia, our guide, was very knowledgeable, charismatic and engaging. She was very thorough. My husband and I were captivated. It was our last tour in Paris, close to our hotel, as well as a beautiful venue.
Read the directions. Look AND WAIT for guide with yellow bag. We had two people that entered without the guide and were upset — that’s on them Guide was very knowledgeable and personable. The chapel is extraordinary— not to be missed. A+++ for guide
Very thorough tour, our guide was very well informed and made it fun. Would recommend this as a lovely tour if you're already on the island - book in advance!
Excellent guide Kathryn - she was very interesting and very knowledgeable and very kind. She’s an excellent employee for sure. She even offered to take a picture and walked us tothe Notre Dame Cathedral and took it in front of the cathedral. And it came out beautiful.. I loved her as a guide and as a compassionate person.
Cynthia was an excellent guide. Her encyclopedic knowledge and enthusiastic presentation ensured a comprehensive understanding of Sainte-Chapelle history and meaning.
The guide was an excellent historian. She showed us stuff which would have been very hard ro notice or see.
Our small group and Cynthia as a guide was fabulous!! Her knowledge of history with a mix of Modern day humor was perfect!! So knowledgeable, yet not boring. We loved our tour and have never been disappointed by Viator!
Great guide with deep historical insights. Amazing chapel. Was worth it 👍🏾
We really liked the tour with Cynthia. She is a really good guide. And to know all the story about the Saint Chappelle made it unforgettable. I highly recommend.
Great tour on 23rd Feb! Wonderful tour. Thanks
Very knowledgeable guide who explained Sainte-Chapelle’s design and how the events of the time are reflected in the stained glass. It was genuinely informative and made the windows feel even more meaningful, not just beautiful. I can’t wait to come back and see the stained glass again in full sunlight.
Loved it, very dynamic, friendly and easy to understand. I Recommend it
We had a very Nice visit at Sainte Chapelle with Cinthya ! We d'identité wait at all. The comment were vers interesting ! I recommend !
Had a fantastic time! Learned a ton about Louis IX and Sainte-Chapelle as well. Helped show the stories behind the building and made it come alive. And loved skipping the line!!!
Catherine was wonderful. Calm, very informative and we learned a ton. She had so much history in context of the era to impart to us
Breathtaking; tour guide was very knowledgeable; Chapel was exquisite; would go again and use Viator
My family and I had a great time visiting Sainte Chapelle and learning so much from our tour guide! She was very knowledgeable, kind, and the tour was thorough and interactive. The guide sent out communications consistently leading up to the tour and we were able to meet up and access the premise quickly. Definitely recommend!
Cynthia the tour guide did a fantastic job - had pic's, examples, movie on I-pad to share. Very knowledgeable did a great job!
Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Well worth it. We learned a lot about Sainte Chapelle. Highly recommend.
No problem finding the tour guide outside the saint chapel, nice tour guide, very helpful and friendly. Well prepared, always providing support in all kinds of requests, established a bond of trust and respect, and highly recommended.
We were booked for 9 am. To look for guide e yellow bag. Time came, no guide. She said she sent a message to meet her 9:15. I checked email, message. Never saw or received it. No doubl she sent it, but where?? She was quite insulted but was very knowledgeable and her range of history was excellent. Somehow I think that a guide should apologize to the client, she made me feel I had done something wrong. My granddaughter admonished ME. I know that your culture is different but I was made out to be the bad guy. The venue itself was well worth the experience.
Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and passionate which was great. What was not great was that she was biased against kids and didn’t bring headsets for each of our three kids on the tour because she said some kids don’t handle the equipment properly. This was one of the last tours on our long European trip and my kids had properly handled headsets on about a dozen prior tours so this was very disappointing.
The guide did not cancel ahead of time nor give us any type of information BEFORE we arrived at the tour when she announced she was ill and would see if she would need to stop the tour early. She did indeed stop the tour less than halfway through. We have attempted to use the proper procedure to request a refund, at least a partial refund, and have not received any response from Paris In Tour or Trip Advisor.
I was sorry to learn that our guide was sick, and that a substitute could not be found. I appreciated your offer to send the tickets and refund the guide portion of the cost. Would have enjoyed the guide’s information, but sometimes people get sick. Glad the guide didn’t share the germs.
Cinthya is very knowledgeable and friendly, helped us skip the long line, and pointed out many interesting details. Highly recommend.
St Chappelle was closed!! I need to get a refund as it was the only day we could go. Tried to hit reply but was inoperable. Please help! Thank you.
Great/friendly guide & driver; nice driving conditions & knowledgeable/experienced guide. A bit rushed BUT I don’t think with how crowded it was it would have made a difference with more time. Would recommend booking this tour!
The guide was very competent and thorough with an interesting story telling style that provided essential information about the Chappell without overwhelming you. She is an excellent guide.
We looked everywhere but could not find our tour guide with a “yellow fabric bag!” So we paid for audio guides. Disappointed…
So we had a horrible experience with delays and actually missed this. Panicked, I contacted our tour operated, and they told us they had informed the guards of our scenario, and while they wouldn't be there to guide us, we could still get in. This was sold out for days and it was a clean and easy process to still be able to see this even after some major flight delays. Extremely responsive company who were truly amazing even though we missed the tour time.
Cinthia, our guide, was excellent and unafraid to be a little provocative, which made the tour fun. And Sainte Chapelle is eye-wateringly beautiful. The tour is way overpriced for what you get, but if you missed the public booking window there are limited options. Also it is misleading that the meeting point is listed as Quai des Orfèvres. Actually the entrance is round the corner in Boulevard du Palais. The confusion caused us to be late and earn Cinthia’s displeasure. Getting inside seemed to take forever and the whisper gear as usual was very unreliable despite Cinthia’s efforts. But no regrets and stunning photos.
Guide did not show up as confirmed Very dissatisfied that I was charged fof a service that was not performed I expect a full refund Any questions , text me 602 763 4746
Skip the Line Tour is the best way to go. This church is fabulous and was built within Louis XIV palace. Walls of stained glass depict books of the Bible. Our tour guide, Cynthia, was brilliant and entertaining. Don’t miss this tour
This was a wonderful opportunity to avoid long lines to see SC and to hear from an extremely knowledgeable guide who spoke clearly and answered questions effectively. Cynthia is superb.
Exceptional tour guide. Her knowledge regarding the Catholic Church, the architecture of Saint Chapelle, and the ruling class of the time were very informative, plus she had great photos and even a video on her I Pad. Just a delightful tour guide of a beautiful building!!!
Cynthia provided an excellent tour of Sainte Chapelle. Interesting facts, lots of insight and the historical perspective to tell a great story. And skipping the line was worth the money. We would definitely recommend this experience.
The tour guide was great and very informative. She made it very easy and smooth to navigate the lines and get in quickly. The tour made the whole experience so much better. A must do and having Viator lead the way for us just made it much more enjoyable.
loved the stained glass and the history. the guide was very helpful and informative. Would recommend this tour
Our guide, Cinthia Ramirez, was friendly, spoke fine English, and came prepared with additional material on her iPad to expand her commentary. Really enjoyed the tour - of course the stained glass is beyond description!!
Our flight was delayed and we couldn’t reschedule our tour. We tried to reach someone to help us but costumer service was not available.
Cynthia, our tour guide was excellent, knowledgeable, and friendly. She came prepared with a wealth of knowledge and visual aides to accomplish the goal of sharing pertinent and relevant information. She was exceptionally good at engaging the children in the group. Excellent experience.
We appreciated our knowledgeable and entertaining guide, who was easy to find and got us right into the site.
